Director makes more.
Yep. I was recently laid off and all of the other senior executives were stunned. They said "You could run this place by YOURSELF! We can't believe he let YOU of all people go!"
BUT the owner had been quietly running his company into the ground.. not sending out "hot" quotes to big customers (some of whom had been waiting 6 or more months when I left!), not communicating with customers or staff, etc, etc, etc... The feeling throughout the organization was that it was maybe due to early onset dementia... when our financial backer pulled out due to lack of growth, the owner started panicking and decided to cut from the high wage pool first. So I went from #2 to the owner to unemployed. 😕
It's a tough job market and I am a strong administrative professional with experience in a wide variety of industries, but I'm not having much luck. 🤷🏻♀️
